John Thultn, Saloonkeeper, Fined flOO

By Judge Hunter on Charge of Having Promoted a Prlae Fight. John Thulin, one of the prominent saloonkeepers of Burnham and one time close friend of Johnny Patton, the "boy mayor" of Burnham, was fined $100 last Saturday by Jude Hunter of

Burnham. The charges preferred

against Thulin were those of promoting a prize fight and were made by Patton, who, as president of the village board is also president of the police department. Thulin has appealed the case to the criminal court. The fine limits for promoting a prize fight are from $5 to $200. The charges against Thulin have their foundation in the raid of June 12, when fifty fight fans from Chicago were arrested while standing around the ring above Timlin's saloon awaiting the battle royal that was advertised to be pulled off by the Portable Athletic club.
